THEATER On Broadway POOR RICHARD. Jean Kerr is still wearing the life-of-the-party grin from Mary, Mary, but behind the witticisms something sobering denies that life is that kind of party at all. With Alan Bates playing a lyric poet turned wench charmer and lush, the comedy is less funny than Mary, Mary but more probingly perceptive...

They are the most sensitive to charges of Communist infiltration in the FSM, and the most likely to think of the FSM as a gang of irresponsible children who should be disciplined and sent back to their studies--or kicked out altogether. This kind of mentality...
